HPOTM: Congratulations To Star of The Month Sophia Shih of Taiwan

Check out our July star on the month, Sophia Shih. She is from Taiwan, a small island nation located in the east of China. The asian beauty currently works as a Hospital Administrator. She had her undergraduate degree from Shih Hsin University in Taipai, Taiwan.

After working as a copy writter for a publishing company in Taiwan for many years, Sophia said she was able to saved up a lot of money to pursue her quest for more knowledge in the United States.

In 2008 she relocated to the U.S. to further her education. With California being her dream State, she applied to the Master of Science in Health Adminstration (MSHA) program at the California State University, Northridge (CSUN). Her brilliance and charisma was so captivating, she was accepted by the school that same year (2008). After 3 years, she graduated from the program in 2011and has been working ever since then.

Sophia whose first love is writting, never gave up on her passion. She recently wrote a book for women's health. Her dream besides helping people in the healthcare field, is to continue writing. She loves poems and has written many poems for more than ten years now. She sees herself retiring someday from her job and focusing mainly on writting.

Besides being a career woman at the moment, she hopes to find a loving, God-fearing, hardworking and responsible man to settle down with. Two kids from a blissful marriage would be a blessing and that's all she wants. However, if getting married and having kids is not in the cards for her, she hopes to do more traveling and explore the beauty of the world.

She speaks Taiwanese and English language fluently. She plans to do some volunteering as a Japanese interpreter, so she is currently learning the language. She loves participating in welfare events and that is another way she gives back to the society.

"The universe has smiled at me more than I ever expected. I don't want to be rich, I just want to be the very best I can be and be able to positively impact the lives of others. I believe in sharing and if people could learn to share, this world would be a much better place," she said.

Sophia chose to share this photo because this is who she really is. "We are all beautiful in our own skin.Though I love makeup and love treating myself with the best things in life, I don't really need makeup to feel beautiful," she added.

Wow! Sophia has said it all! Beauty isn't about having a pretty face. There is no need to be perfect to inspire others. What really matters is a pretty mind, pretty heart and a pretty soul. All of which Sophia has truly been blessed with.

You go girl! We wish you all the best and a happy new month.
